克林顿支持克里

[dvnews_page]
克林顿支持克里在费城出席竞选集会的演讲(20xx-10-25)BillClintonHelJohnKerryinphiladelphia当地时间10月25日上午，美国前总统比尔克林顿将与民主党总统候选人约翰克里一起在费城参加竞选活动。这将是克林顿自从七周前接受心脏搭桥手术以来首度出面为克里拉票。在五彩纸屑散布会场的同时，克林顿一面微笑，一面热情地和在场的部分选民握手致意。当看到台下大批选民为自己的露面欣喜若狂时，克林顿很是感动。他说：“如果这（选民的热烈回应）对我的心脏没好处的话，那我就真不知道什么对我身体有好处了。民主党人希望，克林顿的出山能够在大选最后时刻助克里一臂之力。目前，克里与共和党候选人布什的民调支持率非常接近，难分高下。

克林顿北大演讲中文稿

英文稿上半篇英文稿下半篇

克林顿总统：

谢谢。陈校长、任书记、迟副校长、韦副部长，谢谢你们。今天，我很高兴率领一个庞大的美国代表团来到这里，代表团中包括第一夫人和我们的女儿，她是斯坦福大学的学生，该校是和北大具有交流关系的学校之一。此外，我们的代表团中还包括六位美国国会议员、国务卿、商务部长、农业部长、经济顾问理事会理事长、我国驻华大使参议员尚慕杰、国家安全顾问和我的办公厅主任等。我提到这些人是为了说明美国极为重视对华关系。在北大百年校庆之际，我首先要向你们全体师生员工、管理人员祝贺。恭喜了，北大！（掌声。）各位知道，这个校园曾经一度是由美国传教士建立的燕京大学。学校许多美丽的建筑物由美国建筑师设计。成千上万的美国学生和教授来到北大求学和教课。我们对你们有一种特殊的亲近感。我很庆幸，今天和 79 年前的一个重要的日子大不相同。1919 年 6 月，就在这里，燕京大学首任校长司徒雷登（John Leighton Stuart）准备发表第一个毕业典礼致辞。他准时出场，但学生一个未到。学生们为了振兴中国的政治文化，全部走上街头领导五四运动去了。我读到这个后，希望今天当我走进这个礼堂时，会有人坐在这里。非常感谢大家前来听我演讲。(掌声。)

一百年以来，北大已经发展到两万多学生。贵校的毕业生遍及中国和全世界。贵校建成了亚洲最大的大学图书馆。去年贵校有20%的毕业生去国外深造，其中包括一半的数理专业学生。在这个百年校庆之年，中国、亚洲和全世界有100多万人上机访问贵校的网址。在新世纪黎明之际，北大正在率领中国奔向未来。

你们是中国下一代的领导者。我今天要跟你们讲的是，建立中美两国牢固的伙伴关系，对于你们的未来至关重要。

在几千年的历史长河中，中国为人类文化、宗教、哲学、艺术和科技作出了贡献，美国人民深深钦佩你们。我们铭记着第二次世界大战期间两国的牢固伙伴关系。现在我们看到，中国处于历史性时刻：能和你们光辉灿烂的过去相提并论的，只有贵国目前气势磅礴的改革和更加美好的未来。

仅仅在30年前，中国还与世界隔绝。现在，中国参加了从航空旅行到农业开发等领域的1000多个国际组织。贵国为大规模贸易和敞开了大门。今天有40,000多年轻的中国学生在美国留学，还有数十万中国学生在亚洲、非洲、欧洲和拉美国家留学。

贵国在社会和经济领域的变革更为显著，从一个封闭的指令性经济体制向一个日显生机、日趋注重市场性的经济转变，产生了连续20年史无前例的增长，赋予人民更大的自由，到国内外旅游、进行村委会选举、拥有住房、选择职业以及上更好学校。因此，贵国帮助成千上百万的人们摆脱了贫困。在过去的10年中人均收入翻了一番以上。大多数中国人民过上了20年前还难以想象的美好生活。

当然，这些变化也打乱了固有的生活和工作格局，给贵国的环境造成了巨大压力。以前，每个城市居民到国有企业就业都有保障。现在，你们必须到就业市场上去竞争。以前，每个中国工人只要满足北京中央计划人员的要求，现在，全球性经济意味着人人必须跟上世界其他地区的质量和创造力。对于缺乏适当训练、技能和支持的人们来说，这个新世界的确令人生畏。

在短期内，一些诚实勤快的人会失业。正如你们所见，过去20年的开发模式和能源使用模式，造成了空气污染、滥伐森林、酸雨和缺水，在环境、经济和医疗保健方面带来了巨大代价。

面对这些挑战，必须制定出和社会保障的新体系，推出保护环境的新政策和新技术，以便在促进经济增长的同时改进环境。我对中国人民智慧、独创性和开发精神的所见所闻，过去几天我和江总书记和朱总理及其他人会谈中的所见所闻，给了我信心，相信你们定能成功。

在你们建设新中国的同时，美国希望同你们建立新关系。我们要看到一个成就非凡、安全开放的中国，和我们携手为一个和平繁荣的世界而努力。我知道，无论在中国还是在美国，都有人怀疑两国之间的紧密关系是否是好事。但是，世界在变化，我们面临着种种挑战，我们了解的这一切告诉我们，我们两国携手合作比分道扬镳要有利得多。

已故的邓小平告诫我们要实事求是。新世纪来临之际，事实显而易见。我们两国间的距离在缩短，实际上是所有国家间的距离在缩短。以前，美国的快速帆船开到中国要花几个月。今天，高科技使我们天涯若比邻。从笔记本电脑到激光技术、从微芯片到兆字节储存器，信息革命正在照亮人类知识领域，将我们更紧密地联结起来。人们只要敲一下电脑的键盘，观念、信息和资金就能跨越全球，为人们创造财富、预防和征服疾病、加深具有不同历史和文化背景人民之间的了解，带来了极大的机会。

但我们也知道，更大的开放和更快的变革也意味着，别国产生的问题会很快蔓延到本国境内，如大规模毁灭性武器的扩散、有组织的犯罪和贩卖毒品的威胁、环境的恶化和严重的经济混乱等问题。没有哪个国家能避免这些问题，没有那个国家能独自解决这些问题。我们，特别是中美两国的年轻一代必须以迎接这些共同的挑战为共同的事业，共创一个光辉灿烂的新世纪。

二十一世纪是你们的世纪。中美两国将面临亚洲安全的挑战。我们两国曾在朝鲜半岛为敌，现在我们携手合作，为一个永久和平和无核武器的未来而努力。

世界各国正在摆脱核威胁，而在印度次大陆，印度和巴基斯坦却甘冒挑起新一轮军备竞赛的风险。我们正在谋求一个共同的策略，以使印巴两国停止进一步的核试验，并为解决分歧进行对话。

在二十一世纪，你们年轻一代必须承担制止更加致命的核武器、化学武器和生物武器扩散的重任。如果这种武器落入坏人之手或流入不适当的场所，无论大小国家，其安全都会受到威胁。中美两国日益认识到制止这类武器扩散的重要性，因此我们已开始齐心协力，控制世界上最危险的武器。

在二十一世纪，你们年轻一代一定要扭转犯罪和毒品的国际逆流。全世界有组织的犯罪分子每年从人民手中抢走的财产达数十亿美元，破坏了人们对政府的信任。美国人民深知毒品给学校师生和社区居民造成的破坏和绝望。中国的边境和十几个国家相邻，已成了各种走私分子的通道。

去年，我和江总书记请求中美双方的高级执法官员加强合作，打击这些犯罪分子，防止洗钱，防止在残酷条件下偷运外国人，防止伪币破坏货币的信用。就在本月，我们的缉毒署在北京开设了办事处。不久，中国的缉毒专家也将在华盛顿开展工作。

在二十一世纪，你们年轻一代的使命是必须保证今天的进步发展不以明天为代价。中国过去20年来的快速增长以遭受毒害为代价，即贵国人民的饮用水和呼吸的空气都已遭受污染。这种代价不仅仅体现在环境方面，对人民的健康也造成了严重的危害，而且还会阻碍经济的发展。

环境问题正在变得日趋全球化和全国化。例如，在不久的将来，如果目前的能源使用模式不改变，中国将超过美国成为世界最大的温室气体的排放国。温室气体是全球性升温的主要原因。如果世界各国不减少排放造成全球性升温的气体，下世纪的某个时候就会出现气候急剧变化的严重威胁，这将改变我们的生活和工作方式，某些岛国就会被大水淹没，某些国家的经济社会结构就会遭到破坏。

我们必须大力合作。经验告诉我们美国人，可以在促使经济成长的同时保护环境。为了我们自己也为了世界，我们必须做到这一点。

我国副总统戈尔已同中国政府合作开展了不少工作。在此基础上，我和江总书记正在一起探讨方法，在中国推出美国的清洁能源技术，在促进中国经济发展的同时提高中国的大气质量。

但我还要重申这话不在我的讲稿上在这一点上你们这一代还要有更多的作为。这对你们、对美国人民和世界的未来都是一个巨大的挑战。这个问题必须在大学里提出，因为如果政治领导人认为采取环保措施会导致大规模的失业或严重的贫困，他们就不愿意这样做。事实证明环保不会造成失业和贫困。如果我们的方法得当，人们将取得更快的经济增长，拥有薪水更高的工作，促进教育和科技向更高水平发展。但是，你们大学生和你们的大学，中美两国以及全世界的人民都必须带这个头。（掌声。）

在二十一世纪，你们必须承担不分国界的国际金融系统的重任。当香港和雅加达的股票市场下跌时，其影响再也不是局部性，而是全球性的。因此，贵国充满生机的经济成长同整个亚太地区恢复稳定和经济发展紧密相连。

在最近一次的金融危机中，中国坚定不移地承担了对本地区和全世界的责任，帮助避免了又一个危险的货币贬值周期。我们必须继续携手合作，对付全球金融系统

面临的威胁以及对整个亚太地区本应有的发展和繁荣的威胁。

在二十一世纪，你们这一代将有极大的机会，将我们科学家、医生、工程师的各种才能结合起来，用于追求共同的发展。我们早就在一些合作领域中取得了突破，包括从医治脊柱对裂到预报恶劣天气和地震等。这些突破证明，只要我们合作，就能改变中美乃至全世界数以百万计的人的生活。扩大我们在科技领域的合作是我们给未来奉献的厚礼之一。

在我以上列举的每一个关键领域，显然，只要我们相互合作而不是互不往来，我们就能取得更大的成就。因此，我们应该努力，确保双方之间目前的建设性关系在下个世纪结出圆满的协作果实。

要做到这一点，我们就必须更好地相互了解，了解各自的共同利益、共有的期望和真诚的分歧。我相信大家在电视上都看到了，我和江总书记星期六在联合记者招待会上公开直接的交流，有助于澄清和缩小我们的分歧。更为重要的是，允许人们理解、辩论和探讨这些问题，能使他们对我们建设美好的未来更加充满信心。

从我居住的华盛顿特区白宫的窗口向外眺望，我们第一任总统乔治．华盛顿的纪念碑俯视全城。那是一座高耸的方形尖塔。在这个庞大的纪念碑旁，有一块很小的石碑，上面刻着的碑文是：美国决不设置贵族和皇室头衔，也不建立世袭制度。国家事务由舆论公决。

美国就是这样建立了一个从古至今史无前例的崭新政治体系。这是最奇妙的事物。这些话不是美国人写的，而出自福建省巡抚徐继玉(Xu Jiyu)之手，并于1853年由中国政府刻成碑文，作为礼物送给美国。

我很感激中国送的这份礼物。它道出了我们全体美国人民的心声，即人人有生命和自由的权利、追求幸福的权利，有不受国家的干涉，辩论和持不同政见的自由、结社的自由和宗教信仰的自由。这些就是220年前美国立国的核心理想。这些理想指引我们跨越美洲大陆，走向世界舞台。这些仍然是美国人民今天珍视的理想。

正如我在和江总书记举行的记者招待会上所说，我们美国人民正在不断寻求实现这些理想。美国的制定者了解，我们不可能做到尽善尽美。他们说，美国的使命始终是要建设一个更为完美的联邦。换言之，我们永远不可能尽善尽美，但我们必须不断改进。

每当我们放弃不断改进的努力，每当我们由于种族或宗教原因、由于是新移民，或者由于有人持不受欢迎的意见，而剥夺我们人民的自由，我们的历史就出现最黑暗的时刻。每当我们保护持不受欢迎的意见者的自由，或者将大多数人享受的权利给予以前被剥夺权利的人们，从而实践《独立宣言》和《宪法》的诺言，而不是使其成为一纸空文，我们的历史就出现最光明的时刻。

今天，我们没有谋求将自己的见解强加于人，但我们深信，某种权利具有普遍性，它们不是美国的权利或者欧洲的权利或者是发达国家的权利，而是所有的人们与生俱来的权利。这些权利现在载于《联合国人权宣言》。这些就是待人以尊严、各抒己见、选举领袖、自由结社、自由选择信教或不信教的权利。

《独立宣言》的作者、我国第三任总统托马斯．杰克逊在他一生的最后一封信中写道：人们正在睁开眼睛关注人权。在杰克逊写了这句话172年之后，我相信，人们现在终于睁开眼睛关注着世界各地男男女女应享受的人权。

过去20年以来，一个高涨的自由浪潮解放了成千上百万的生灵，扫除了前苏联和中欧那种失败的独裁统治，结束了拉美国家军事政变和内战的恶性循环，使更多的非洲人民有机会享受来之不易的独立。从菲律宾到南朝鲜，从泰国到蒙古，自由之浪已冲到亚洲的海岸，给发展和生产力注入了动力。

经济保障也应该是自由的要素。这在《联合国经济社会文化权益公约》中获得承认。在中国，你们为培育这种自由已迈出了大步，保证不遭受匮乏，并成为贵国人民的力量源泉。中国人的收入提高了，贫困现象减轻了；人们有了更多的选择就业的机会和外出旅游的机会，有了创造更好生活的机会。但真正的自由不仅仅是经济的自由。我们美国人民认为这是一个不可分割的概念。

在过去的四天中，我在中国看到了自由的许多表现形式。我在贵国内地的一个村庄看到民主的萌芽正在迸发。我访问了一个自由选举村委领导的村庄。我也看到了大哥大电话、录象机和带来全世界观念、信息和图象的传真机。我听到人们抒发自己的想法，我还同当地的人们一起为我选择的宗教信仰祈祷。在所有这些方面，我感觉到自由的微风在吹拂。

但人们不禁要问，我们的发展方向是什么？我们怎样相互合作走上历史的正确一面？贵校伟大的政治思想家之一、胡适教授在50多年前说过：有些人对我说，为了国家的自由你必须牺牲自己的个人自由。但我回答，为了个人自由而奋斗就是为了国家的自由而奋斗。为了个性而奋斗就是为了国民性而奋斗。

我们美国人认为胡适是对的。我们相信，并且我们的经验表明，自由加强稳定，自由有助于国家的变革。

我国的一位开国先贤本杰明．富兰克林曾经说过：我们的批评者是我们的朋友，因为他们指出我们的缺点。如果这话正确，在美国很多时候，总统的朋友比其他任何人都多。 (笑声。) 但确实如此。

在我们生活的世界，全球性的信息时代、不断的改进和变革是增加经济机会和国力的必要条件。因此，让信息、观念和看法最自由地流通，更多地尊重不同的政治和宗教信仰，实际上将增加实力，推动稳定。

因此，为了贵国和世界的根本利益，中国的年轻人必须享有心灵上的自由，以便最充分地开发自己的潜力。这是我们时代的信息，也是新的世纪和新的千年的要求。

我希望中国能更充分地赞同这个要求。尽管贵国历史上有过辉煌的功绩，我认为，贵国最伟大的时光仍在前头。中国不仅顶着20世纪的种种艰难险阻生存了下来，而且正在迅速向前迈进。

其它的古老文化消亡了，因为他们没有进行变革。中国始终显示出变革和成长的能力。你们必须重新想象新世纪的中国，你们这一代必然处于中国复兴的中心。

我们即将进入新世纪。我们所有的目光瞄向未来。即使贵国以千年计算历史，即使美国以百年计算历史，贵国的历史也更加悠久。然而，今天的中国和任何一个国家一样年轻。新世纪将是新的中国的黎明，贵国为其在历史上的伟大而自豪，为你们进行的事业而自豪，为明天的到来更加自豪。在新世纪中，世界可能再次转向中国寻求她文化的活力、思想的新颖、人类尊严的升华，这在中国的成就中已显而易见。在新世纪中，最古老的国家有可能帮助建设一个新世界。

美国希望与贵国合作，使那个时刻成为现实。

感谢大家。(掌声。)

president clinton?ˉs new year?ˉs message

washington￡? d.c.￡? posted 1￡o14 a.m. est january 1￡? 20xx?a?a what follows is the text of president clinton?ˉs message￡? which he delivered at the new year?ˉs eve gala on the mall in washington￡? d.c.￡? as transcribed by the federal document clearing house￡o

"ladies and gentlemen￡? tonight we celebrate. the change of centuries￡? the dawning of a new millennium are now just minutes away.

"we celebrate the past. we have honored america?ˉs remarkable achievements￡? struggles and triumphs in the 20th century. we celebrate the future￡? imagining an even more remarkable 21st century.

"as we marvel at the changes of the last 100 years￡? we dream of what changes the next 100 and the next 1￡?000 will bring. and as powerful as our memories are￡? our dreams must be even stronger. for when our memories outweigh our dreams￡? we become old. and it is the eternal destiny of america to remain forever young - always reaching beyond￡? always becoming￡? as our founders pledged￡? ``a more perfect union.?ˉ?ˉ

"so we americans must not fear change. instead￡? let us welcome it￡? embrace it and create it.

"the great story of the 20th century is the triumph of freedom and free people. a story told in the drama of new immigrants￡? the struggles for equal rights￡? the victories over totalitarianism￡? the stunning advances in economic well-being and culture and health and space and telecommunications and in building a world in which more than half the people live under governments of their own choosing for the first time in all history.

"we must never forget the meaning of the 20th century or the gifts of those who worked and marched￡? who fought and died for the triumph of freedom.

"so as we ring in this new year in a new century￡?

??á??ù2000?aμ?×￡′?μú2ò3

in a new millennium￡? we must now and always echo dr. king￡? in the words of the old american hymn￡? ``let freedom ring.?ˉ?ˉ

"if the story of the 20th century is the triumph of freedom￡? what will the story of the 21st century be￡?

"let it be the triumph of freedom wisely used to bring peace to a world in which we honor our differences and even more our common humanity. such a triumph will require great efforts from us all.

"it will require us to stand against the forces of hatred and bigotry￡? terror and destruction. it will require us to continue to prosper￡? to alleviate poverty￡? to better balance the demands of work and family and to serve￡? each of us￡? in our communities.

"it will require us to take better care of our environment. it will require us to make further breakthroughs in science and technology￡? to cure dread diseases￡? heal broken bodies￡? lengthen life and unlock secrets from global warming to the black holes in the universe.

"and perhaps most important￡? it will require us to share with our fellow americans and￡? increasingly￡? with our fellow citizens of the world￡? the economic benefits of globalization￡? the political benefits of democracy and human rights￡? the educational and health benefits of all things modern￡? from the internet to the genetic encyclopedia to the mysteries beyond our solar system.

"now￡? we may not be able to eliminate all hateful intolerance￡? but we can develop a healthy intolerance of bigotry￡? oppression and abject poverty.

"we may not be able to eliminate all the harsh consequences of globalization. but we can communicate more and travel more and trade more in a way that lifts the lives of ordinary working families everywhere and the quality of our global environment.

"we may not be able to eliminate all the failures of government and international institutions. but we can certainly strengthen democracy so all children are prepared for the 21st century world and protected from its harshest side effects.

"and we can do so much more to work together￡? to cooperate among ourselves￡? to seize the problems and the opportunities of this ever-small planet we all call home.

"in short￡? if we want the story of the 21st century to be the triumph of peace and harmony￡? we must embrace our common humanity and our shared destiny.

"now￡? we?ˉre just moments from that new millennium.

" two centuries ago￡? as the framers were crafting our constitution￡? benjamin franklin was often seen in independence hall￡? looking at a painting of the sun low on the horizon. when at long last the constitution finally was signed￡? mr. franklin said￡? ?ˉi have often wondered whether that sun was rising or setting. today￡? i have the happiness to know it is a rising sun.?ˉ

"well￡? two centuries later￡? we know the sun will always rise on america as long as each new generation lights the fire of freedom. our children are ready. so again￡? the torch is passed to a new century of young americans. "

美国第42任总统克林顿告别演说

同胞们，今晚是我作为你们的总统，在白宫总统办公室向你们做最后一次演说。

我深深地感谢你们给了我两次机会和荣誉，为你们服务和工作，并同你们一道为我们进入21世纪做准备。

在此，我要感谢戈尔副总统，我的内阁部长们以及所有和我一同走过过去8年的同仁们。

这是一个极具变革的年代，你们为新的挑战做好了准备。是你们使我们的社会更强大，我们的家庭更健康和安全，我们的人民更富裕。

同胞们，我们已迈进全球信息化的时代，这是美国复兴的伟大时代。

作为总统，我所做的每一个决定，每一个行政命令，提议和签署的每一项法令，都在努力为美国人民提供工具和创造条件，去实现美国人民梦想的未来----一个美好的社会，繁荣的经济，清洁的环境，一个更自由、更安全、更繁荣的世界。

凭借着我们永恒的价值，我不断前进。机会属于所有的美国公民；责任源自全体美国人民；所有美国人民组成了一个大家庭。我一直在为寻求一个更小、更现代化、更有效率、面对新时代的挑战充满创意和思想、永远把人民的利益放在第一位、永远面向未来的新型的美国政府而努力。

我们一同工作，使美国变得更加美好。我们的经济正在打破一个又一个的记录。我们已创造了2200万个新的工作岗位，现在的失业率是30年来最低的，购房率达到一个空前的高度，经济增长的持续时间是历史上最长的。

我们的家庭、我们的社会变得更加强大。3500万美国人曾经享受联邦休假，800万人获得社会保障，犯罪率是25年来最低的，1000多万美国人享受更多的大学贷款，更多的人接受大学教育。我们的学校也在改善。更高的办学水平、更大的责任感和更多的使得我们的学生取得更好的考试和毕业成绩。

目前，已有300多万美国儿童在享受着医疗，700多万美国人已经脱离了贫困线。人们的收入在大幅度提高。我国的空气和水源更洁净，食品和饮用水更安全。宝贵的土地资源得到了近百年来前所未有的保护。

美国已成为世界上每个地方促进和平和繁荣的积极力量。此时，我非常高兴地将领导权移交给新任总统，强大的美国正面临未来的挑战。

今晚，我希望能把三个关于我们的未来构想留给你们：第一，美国必须保持良好的财政状况。经过4个财政年度的努力，我们已经破纪录的把财政赤字变为盈余。并且，我们已偿还了6000亿美元的国债，正向着10年内彻底偿还国债的目标迈进，这是1835年以来的第一次。

只要这样做，才能给我们带来更低的利率、更大的经济繁荣，才能迎接未来更大的挑战。如果我们做出明智的选择，我们就能偿还债务，解决生育高峰期出生的一大批人的退休问题，对未来进行更多的投资，并减轻税收。

第二，世界各国的联系日益紧密。为了美国的安全与繁荣，我们应继续融入世界。在这个特殊的历史时刻，更多的美国人民享有前所未有的自由。我们的盟国比过去更加强大。全世界人民期望美国成为和平与繁荣、自由与安全的力量。全球经济给予美国人民以及全世界人民更多的机会去工作、生活，更好地养活家庭。

但是，促进世界一体化，一方面为我们创造了良好的机会，同时也使我们在全球范围内更易遭致破坏性力量、恐怖主义、有组织的犯罪、贩毒活动，以及致命性武器和疾病传播的威胁。

尽管世界贸易不断扩大，但它没能缩小处于全球经济前沿的我们与数十亿处于生死边缘的人们之间的距离。

要解决世界贫富两极分化需要的不是同情，而是实际行动。贫穷有可能被我们的漠不关心激化成为火药桶。

托马斯-杰斐逊在他的中告诫我们结盟的危害。但在我们这个时代，美国不能，也不可能使自己脱离整个世界。如果我们想把我们共享的价值观赋予这个世界，我们必须承担起这个责任。

如果20世纪的历次战争，尤其是最近在科索沃地区和波斯尼亚爆发的战争，能够让我们得到某种教训的话，我们从中得到的启示应是：由于捍卫了我们的价值观并领导了自由和和平的力量，我们才达到了目标。我们必须坚定勇敢地信奉这个信念和责任，在语言和行动上与我们的同盟者站在一起，领导他们按这条道路前进；在全球经济中遵循以人为本，让不断发展的贸易使所有国家的所有人受益，在全世界范围内提高人们的生活水平并实现他们的梦想。

第三，我们必须牢记如果我们不团结一致，美国就不能领先世界。随着我们变得多样化，我们必须更加努力地团结在共同价值观和共同人性的旗帜下。

我们必须努力工作，克服存在的种种分歧。于情于法，我们都要让我们的人民受到公正的待遇，不论他是哪一个民族、信仰哪种宗教、什么性别或性倾向，无论他们何时来到这个国家。我们都要时时刻刻为了实现先辈们建立的高度团结的梦想而奋斗。

希拉里、切尔西和我同所有美国人民一道，向即将上任的布什总统、他的家人及新政府致以衷心的祝福，希望新政府能够勇敢面对挑战，高举自由大旗在新世纪阔步前进。

对我来说，当我离开总统宝座时，我充满了更多的理想，比初进白宫时更加充满希望，并坚信美国的好日子还在后面。

我的总统任期就要结束了，但是我希望我为美国人民服务的日子永远不会结束。在我未来的岁月里，我再也不会担任一个比美利坚合众国总统更高的职位、签订一个比美利坚合众国总统所能签署的更为神圣的条约。当然，没有任何一个头衔能让我比作为一个美国公民更为自豪的了。

谢谢你们！愿上帝保佑你们！愿上帝保佑美国！

只要这样做，就会带来更低的利率、更大的经济繁荣，从而能够迎接将来更大的挑战。如果我们做出明智的选择，我们就能偿还债务，解决(二战后出生的)一大批人们的退休问题，对未来进行更多的投资，并减轻税收。
Second,becausetheworldismorecoectedeverydayineveryway,America’ssecurityandproerityrequireustocontinuetoleadintheworld.Atthisremarkablemomentinhistory,morepeopleliveinfreedomthateverbefore.Ouralliancesarestrongerthanever.peopleallaroundtheworldlooktoAmericatobeaforceforpeaceandproerity,freedomandsecurity.Theglobaleconomyisgivingmoreofourownpeople,andbillioaroundtheworld,thechancetoworkandliveandraisetheirfamilieswithdignity.
第二，世界各国的联系日益紧密。为了美国的安全与繁荣，我们应继续融入世界。在这个特别的历史时刻，更多的美国人民享有前所未有的自由。我们的盟国更加强大。全世界人民期望美国成为和平与繁荣、自由与安全的力量。全球经济给予美国民众以及全世界人民更多的机会去工作、生活，更体面地养活家庭。
Buttheforcesofintegrationthathavecreatedthesegoodoortunitiesalsomakeusmoresubjecttoglobalforcesofdestruction,toterrorism,organizedcrimeandnarco-trafficking,thereadofdeadlyweapoanddisease,thedegradationoftheglobalenvironment.
但是，这种世界融合的趋势一方面为我们创造了良好的机会，但同时使得我们在全球范围内更容易遭致破坏性力量、恐怖主义、有组织的犯罪、贩毒活动，致命性武器和疾病传播的威胁。
Theexpaionoftradeha’tfullyclosedthegapbetweenthoseofuswholiveonthecuttingedgeoftheglobaleconomyandthebillioaroundtheworldwholiveontheknife’sedgeofsurvival.
尽管世界贸易不断扩大，但它没能缩小处于全球经济繁荣中的我们同数十亿处于死亡边缘的人们之间的距离。
Thisglobalgaprequiresmorethancompaion.Itrequiresaction.Globalpovertyisapowderkegthatcouldbeignitedbyourindifference.
Inhisfirstinauguraladdre,ThomasJeffersonwarnedofentanglingalliances.Butinourtimes,Americacaotandmustnotdisentangleitselffromtheworld.Ifwewanttheworldtoembodyoursharedvalues,thenwemustaumeasharedreoibility.
要解决世界贫富两极分化需要的不是同情和怜悯，而是实际行动。贫穷有可能被我们的漠不关心激化而成为火药桶。
托马斯-杰斐逊在他的就职演说中告诫我们结盟的危害。但是，在我们这个时代，美国不能，也不可能使自己脱离这个世界。如果我们想把我们共有的价值观赋予这个世界，我们必须共同承担起这个责任。
Ifthewarsofthe20thcentury,eeciallytherecentonesinKosovoandBoia,havetaughtusanything,itisthatweachieveouraimsbydefendingourvaluesandleadingtheforcesoffreedomandpeace.Wemustembraceboldlyandresolutelythatdutytolead,tostandwithouralliesinwordanddeed,andtoputahumanfaceontheglobaleconomysothatexpandedtradebenefitsallpeopleinallnatio,liftinglivesandhopesallacrotheworld.
如果20世纪的历次战争，尤其是新近在科索沃地区和波斯尼亚爆发的战争，能够让我们得到某种教训的话，我们从中得到的启示应是：由于捍卫了我们的价值观并领导了自由和和平的力量，我们才达到了目标。我们必须坚定勇敢地拥抱这个信念和责任，在语言和行动上与我们的同盟者们站在一起，领导他们按这条道路前进；循着在全球经济中以人为本的观念，让不断发展的贸易能够使所有国家的所有人受益，在全世界范围内提高他们的生活水平和实现他们的梦想。
Third,wemustrememberthatAmericacaotleadintheworldunlehereathomeweweavethethreadsofourcoatofmanycolorsintothefabricofoneAmerica.Aswebecomeevermoreperse,wemustworkhardertounitearoundourcommonvaluesandourcommonhumanity.
第三，我们必须牢记如果我们不团结一致，美国就不能领先世界。随着我们变得越来越多样化，我们必须更加努力地团结在共同价值观和共同人性的旗帜下。
Wemustworkhardertoovercomeourdifferences.Inourheartsandinourlaws,wemusttreatallourpeoplewithfairneanddignity,regardleoftheirrace,religion,genderorsexualorientationandregardleofwhentheyarrivedinourcountry,alwaysmovingtowardthemoreperfectunionofourfounders’dreams.
我们要加倍努力地工作，克服生活中存在的种种分歧。于情于法，我们都要让我们的人民受到公正的待遇，不论他是哪一个民族、信仰何种宗教、什么性别或性倾向，或者何时来到这个国家。我们时时刻刻都要为了实现先辈们建立高度团结的美利坚合众国的梦想而奋斗。
Hillary,ChelseaandIjoinallAmericainwishingourverybesttothenextpresident,GeorgeW.Bush,tohisfamilyandhisadministrationinmeetingthesechallengesandinleadingfreedom’smarchinthisnewcentury.
希拉里、切尔西和我同美国人民一起，向即将就任的布什总统、他的家人及美国新政府致以衷心的祝福，希望新政府能够勇敢面对挑战，并高扛自由大旗在新世纪阔步前进。
Asforme,I’llleavethepresidencymoreidealistic,morefullofhopethanthedayIarrivedandmoreconfidentthaneverthatAmerica’sbestdayslieahead.
对我来说，当我离开总统宝座时，我充满更多的理想，比初进白宫时更加充满希望，并且坚信美国的好日子还在后面。
Mydaysinthisofficearenearlythrough,butmydaysofservice,Ihope,arenot.Intheyearsahead,IwillneverholdapositionhigheroracovenantmoresacredthanthatofpresidentoftheUnitedStates.ButthereisnotitleIwillwearmoreproudlythanthatofcitizen.
我的总统任期就要结束了，但是我希望我为美国人民服务的日子永远不会结束。在我未来的岁月里，我再也不会担任一个能比美利坚合众国总统更高的职位、签订一个比美利坚合众国总统所能签署的更为神圣的契约了。当然，没有任何一个头衔能让我比作为一个美国公民更为自豪的了。
Thankyou.Godbleyou,andGodbleAmerica.
谢谢你们！愿上帝保佑你们！愿上帝保佑美国！
